Of course it is not as settled as the All Blacks, who have a seasoned centre partnership of Nonu and Smith, and will likely have a backline that as a collective has played a test previously. But generally settled as in White has been the incumbent or backup [scrumhalf] for a year and a half -...

Saw that we were approaching the first round of the Rugby Championship and the GAGR league was not established, so I took the liberty of creating it. League: Green and Gold Rugby League code: 1462-3524 This is The Bairdy Bunch's year, mark my words. ;)

Hooper to rampage over Richie a la Cian Healy.

A generally settled and experienced backline. Think Beale at 10 could be a masterstroke. With that being said, it will be interesting to see how our pack gels. It always harks back to that old adage doesn't it?

Apart from Beale at 10, it seems I called it. I'll see myself out.

How do the Chiefs manage to hold on to all that talent? Imagine the size of the potential Chiefs backline next year 9. Kerr-Barlow / Pulu 10. Cruden 11. Lowe / Nanai-Williams / Marshall / Tikoirotuma 12. SBW 13. Fruen / Ngatai 14. Gear 15. Nanai-Williams / Marshall

I think it just goes to show how imperative it is we keep our first and second choice forwards injury free, given our insufficient forwards depth. So long as Kepu and Alexander stay injury free (touch wood), Ryan will not likely see game time. How long is Scott Sio out for with his injury?

Maybe even 10. Holmes or Ebersohn 11. Morahan 12. Godwin/Burton 13. Rasolea 14. Brache/DHP 15. DHP/Godwin

Famous last words.

He only plays Jakeball and kicks every opportunity he gets though. Those stats are surely incorrect.

KB (Kurtley Beale) seemed fine playing first receiver often this year for the Tahs and for the Wallabies in 2012. Rarely crabbed in fact. Would rather he play 10 for the Wallabies but it ain't the end of the world if he plays at 12. Am worried about his defence in the 10-12 channel, especially with huge...

White will start because he has the overall game suited to test match rugby despite your preconceptions. You single him out as the heart of Jakeball - a blight on rugby - but don't acknowledge his part in the Chiefs 1/4 final or the Force rout preceding the Tahs game. Fact is, his kicking game...

Just rewatching the game, and was wondering if anyone has any idea what the crowd by the foxsports desk end were chanting? Sounded like they were hounding the panel but couldn't decipher what it was they were chanting because they were quietened live. Edit: Can confirm one of the chants was...

2/10 Poor Tahs defence letting in 32 points and giving the Crusaders a losing bonus point. Set-piece a shambles. Link will be worried. Win not comprehensive enough. Tahs should not have left it to the last two minute to have it in the bag

This is a watershed moment in Australian rugby

Fuck yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The Earl goes in for his double!
